YouTube | Spotify Translated Lyrics The first time i heard this song is when someone from my department in uni doing an interepretive dance to it, and it's so cool.

Aku pernah berjalan diatas bukit I have walked on a hill Tak ada air There's no water Tak ada rumput There's no grass Tanah terlalu kering untuk ditapaki Dirt too dry to step on Panas selalu menghantam kaki dan kepalaku The heat hitting my feet and head

Aku pernah berjalan diatas laut I have walk on the sea Tak ada tanah There's no dirt Tak ada batu There's no stones Air selalu merayu The water keeps seducing me Menggodaku masuk ke dalam pelukannya Tempting me towards it's embrace

{Chorus Tak perlu tertawa atau menangis No need to laugh or cry Pada gunung dan laut Towards the mountain and the sea Karena gunung dan laut Because the mountain and the sea Tak punya rasa Doesn't have feelings}

Aku tak pernah melihat gunung menangis I have never seen the mountain cries Biarpun matahari membakar tubuhnya Even if the sun is burning it's body Aku tak pernah melihat laut tertawa I have never seen the sea laughs Biarpun kesejukkan bersama tariannya Even though the breeze is dancing along

[2x] {Chorus}

YouTube MV | Apple Music | Spotify Translated Lyrics When I first heard of the song, I thought it sounds different from the usual Barasuara songs, and that turns because Erwin Gutawa was in charge of the orchestra (and also it's made for a movie). Sore : Istri dari Masa Depan (Sore : Wife from the Future) is a really good movie that every In Star and Time player should watch, let's not get into why. My biggest gripes with the movie is that we have to watch the final boss of "I can fix him" falling stupid hard for the most mediocre babyman in fiction, but at some point I kinda grasp that Sore is as much or even more of a lost cause as he is, and you know what, I support women's wrongs. Teringat seru suaramu Remembered the sound of your shout Menepis keraguan Pierced through doubt Namun dewasa mengubah But growing up has changed Cara pandang dan keikhlasan Perspective and sincerity Bersaut dan bergulat Shouting and fighting Terperai-perai menghilang Scatters and disappears

Perih yang terasa The sting felt Sakit yang tak sirna An everlasting pain Harapan akankah ada Will there be hope ? Berputar arah To turn around

Angan tenggelam dalam kabut dan amarah Thoughts sinks in fog and anger Luka terkuak dan menggebu tanpa arah Wound rips open aimlessly Tangis yang terbendung Tears cummulates Terbuang dalam waktu Trashed to Time Yang meluruh That disentegrates

Perih yang terasa The sting felt Sakit yang tak sirna An everlasting pain Harapan akankah ada Will there be hope ? Berubah To change

Melihatmu bersemi dan bermekaran Seeing you blossom and bloom Tawa candamu berikan kekuatan Your laughther gives strength Sisa hariku What's left of my days Pagi berganti waktu Morning shifts the time Memelukmu That embraces you

Kita kan tua dan kehilangan pegangan We will grow old and loose hold Lihat senyummu memberikan kekuatan Looking at your smile give power Sisa nafasku What's left of my breath Cinta tak kenal waktu Love, blind to time Menjagamu Protects you

-------------------------------------------

"Terbuang Dalam Waktu" I've contimplated how to translate this. "Lost in time" maybe the closest thing in english but I don't feel like it conveys the hopelessness of it. Especially when "Terbuang" is used, implying something was mistaken as trash and time is the trashcan. My intentions of using "trashed" isn't just to keep the original wording but I'm adding the idea of what they have is ruined or broken to them. I know "trashed" as a past tense of "trash" is not as common of a use than the use of it to express something is made a mess or ruined but i feel like it conveys it.

YouTube | Apple Music | Spotify Translated Lyrics I don't think translating it does it justice especially when the song relies on repitition to convey it's message. The idea that the song is about haunting memories is pretty clear but the idea that this is a desperate desire to forget is conveyed through the melody seemingly failing to ascend over and over again, almost like it's a useless effort. Multiple vocals harmonizing push the idea of something that is filling your brain agaisnt your will.

Sembuhkan lukamu yang membiru Heal your wound that has turned blue Serpihan hatimu yang berdebu pieces of your heart that has gathered dust Pagimu yang terluka Your wounded morning Malammu yang menyiksa Your torturous night Hal yang ingin kau lupa Things you want to forget Justru semakin nyata Instead becoming real

Sembuhkan lukamu yang membiru Heal your wound that has turned blue [2x] Serpihan hatimu Pieces of your heart

{Chorus [2X] Pagimu yang terluka Your wounded morning Malammu yang menyiksa Your torturous night Hal yang ingin kau lupa Things you want to forget Justru semakin nyata Instead becoming real} uuuuuuuhhhh.... aaaahhhhh....

{Chorus}

on the first few twitter migrations I give a bunch of websites a go and just got tired. It doesn't comfort me that a lot of tumblr and insta folks are selling both as better platform, idk if i'm just too tired but they all feels the same to me. it doesn't help that i'm just not used to tumblr and people makes it out to seems like I should, quickly. I don't want a better revolutionary platform, I simply want to post stuff and have people see it.

Lyrics and Translation Indonesian | Javanese

( Ibu bumi wis maringi ) ( Mother earth has given )

( Ibu bumi dilarani ) ( Mother earth is being hurt )

( Ibu bumi kang ngadili ) ( Mother earth is the judge )

Le le le le le le semilir Le le le le le le the breeze

Lu lu lu hulu Lu lu lu upstream

Li li li li li li hilir Li li li li li li downstream

Lo lo ijo ijo Lo lo green green

Royo ! (x3) Great ! (x3

Semilir angin bergilir The wind breeze takes turn

Sejuk terik asri cold, warm, beautiful

Dari hulu ke hilir From up to down stream

Oh mengalir Oh it flows

Mengalir dari mata air Flowing from the springs

Oh mata air Oh the springs

[ Dialogue ]

Eh, Yu' Karsupi Geez, Yu' Karsupi

"Mata air" (x2) "Water springs" (x2)

Awas loh Yu' nanti berubah menjadi air mata! Watch out, it'll turn into tears!

Husss Yu' Patmi nih loh, kalo ngomong nggak dijaga Hush! Yu' Panti, you need to mind your words

Eh minggu ini aku belum nangis loh! Hey, I haven't cried this week you know!

[ Dialogue end]

Ojo ojo hati-hati dengan ucapanmu Come on now, be careful with your words

Ucapanmu bawa doa ke tanah kita Your words bring prayers to our land

Ijo ijo lihat sekelilingmu Green green, look around you

Ijo royo, patutnya dijogo Great green, it should be protected

Jangan sampai ada air mata Don't let there be tears

Suka cita tanah pegunungan kita The joys of our mountains

Ijo royo tanpa air mata Great green without tears

Jaga tanah Protect the land

Jaga tekad Stay determinate

Panen raya sudah dekat The great harvest is near

Ayo bersiap Let's get ready

Semua punya peran Everybody has a role

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Language notes : - Yu' [ Mbakyu is a jawa kromo (basically the softest form of Javanese) honorific for young women. "Mbak" is a more common shortened version of it, this musical uses the less common "Yu'", it's a regional thing. Although often translated to "older sister", it can be also just use as a respectful honorific. I know a friend who refers to everyone in her age group using "mbak" or "mas" (masculine ver). when I use "mbak" and "mas" I use it when I don't know their age to avoid disrespecting them, preferably "Kak" (gender neutral indonesian honorific) so i don't have to assume their gender either, but some places "mbak/mas" is more prefered. there's also the use of someone more experienced than the speaker, a form of "senpai" if you will. More or less the line is when someone is supposed to be referred to in a higher honorific or someone clearly younger than the speaker.

in the musical alot of characters uses Yu' and Bu interchangeably ( bu is being short for ibu, honorific for and older women or mothers ) which says a bit about the age and status between the characters, which is older women (some characters even mentions having children) who are on friendly terms.

Also it's common to use non Indonesian honorifics when speaking Indonesian, and I feel like highlighting every use of non indonesian honorific is a bit much, so I kept all honorifics moving forward labelled in line with whatever language the characters are mainly speaking in during the time ]

- mata air and air mata [ mata air ( transliteration : water's eye ) means water springs, but if we flip the order, we have air mata ( transliteration : eye water ) which means tears. I feel like the play on words is lost in the translations ]

- Ijo [ Ijo is javanese for green but can also be used as an informal form of green in Indonesian (hijau). Although the whole musical uses a more poetic Indonesian as it's main, there's a lot of Javanese mixed in and interactions between characters are mostly using casual language. I choose to label "ijo" as Javanese because often times "Ijo" is followed with "royo" which is more clearly Javanese (it's "raya" in Indonesian) ]
